Worked for a couple years

Worked for a couple of years then the hard drive stopped recording, so I bought another surveillance hard drive and swapped it out but no matter what the system doesn't recognize the hard drive at all. So now we got cameras that just show a live image but don't record a thing since the original drive is dead and it won't recognize the new one at all. IT supports has been no help except for the only recommendation is "buy a new system".
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The DVR is working great. Only have one negative comment. The unit supports 10 cameras. I am using 6. I cannot find a way to disable the other 4 unused cameras and they fill one third of the TV screen with unused blank camera spaces. Other than that a good security system.

Sends too many notifications

Don’t waste your money on these cameras unless you want a lot of notifications of your tire’s. Hardly records when there is human in front of the camera but send you back to back every minute on the minute notifications of insignificant things like a back bumper or a back tires . Not worth it find better cameras
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great resolution crystal clear night vision

I have had my Lorex system for about two and a half years now, and I had to replace
four cameras due to the mounts and arms breaking. The DVR is great, but cameras are expensive. I do install camera systems for my customers, and now I can no longer recommend Lorex systems. The Night Owl system is a great system, the only thing I do not like is most of the programing and set up is done through the app.

The cameras work really great. The system is easy to setup. This is the third system that I purchased from night owl and they all are still working great.

I owned one of this for five years now, the system works really well and setting up was very easy. My wife has the app on her phone which served useful. The DVR is starting to go bad, I swapped the hard drive and tried a new camera, still does not work. I will order a new DVR.
